Here’s my current list after the first few weeks: 1. BAC/Bloo 2. Bloo/BAC 3. SCV (hoping but I think possible) 4. BD 5. Phantom Regiment 6. Crown 7. Mandarins 8. Blue Stars 9-11 any order Colts/Troopers/Cavies 12. Pacific Crest/Blue Knights/Madison Scouts I honestly have no idea how that last spots gonna be filled bc it’s a crazy season. Also, while i understand they sound amazing, I don’t think the visual/GE of crown will be enough. I personally think people to often forget it’s more than just music and while we haven’t gotten any scores from them and I could be completely wrong, with how good everyone else, they may fall one or stay where they were, but I’d be shocked if they were top 4. It’s an amazing brass book and their guard is awesome but I’m a bit worried, but again , I could be completely wrong. Tonight will be a good look at everyone minus BD Quote

Tonight will be a good look at everyone minus BD Expand Yes it will definitely get more clear as we se them compete against each other but I’ll drop my predictions down below 1. Bloo 2. Boston 3. PR 4. BD 5. Crown 6. SCV 7. mandarins 8. Blue stars 9. troopers 10. cavies 11. colts 12. pacific crest/bk/crossmen/scouts i also think in percussion it’s and scv year, I really want Boston to get a Sanford and I think they might be the best line to not have a Sanford but rennick is cooking again… also if you want to make predictions for all these events and see how you stack up against others : fantasymarching.live any thoughts on my predictions?

If not a podium this year they’ll definitely be 4th but I could see it. Just depends on what the DCI judges think of their show theme being everything yet nothing at the same time 1. BC (It’s gonna be close) 2. Bloo 3. PR (I’m really hoping) 4. BD 5. SCV 6. Crown 7. BS 8. Mandies 9. Cavs 10. Troops 11. Colts (Could see higher) 12. BK/Scouts Quote

I love scv, especially being in battery myself and I think they will win the Sanford but I can barely see them breaking top 5 rn. Great show, but I think it’ll take them some time to get back to the level of 2018 Quote

I obv understand beating BD and maybe PR will be hard but they imo have the show to do it if everyone’s at the same level of clean come finals Quote

Rlly cheering for scv and pr especially. Quote

enderplayz17 Posted July 8 Posted July 8 It may not be crazy to say we might get a full on anti-sweep of the captions. In my predictions after a few weeks of DCI season and watching shows I think that: Zingali Colorguard - Blue Devils Sanford Percussion - SCV (awesome show) General Effect - Bloo Ott Brass - Crown I think Boston will not win an award (but cut close with SCV for Stanford) but will medal gold or silver.

Even the All Age corps are doing amazing. Music City, Gold, Crossmen, Genesis, you name it. This is going to be a great year for DCI. Tubalord11 1 Quote

If there is a tie for 12th place, both corps will perform the next day for finals. Looked it up and it has happened before. Would not mind having an extra band at finals. Tubalord11 1 Quote

Although I do think we can kinda piece some of the picture together, we won’t rlly be able to tell until dci San Antonio, which my team will definitely be at. Should be a fun prediction pool!

Ultimatedcifan Posted July 9 Posted July 9 Also who else notices spirit of Atlanta battery🔥🔥🔥. They are coming in hot, I really want them to make finals but it’s not looking great for their corps, though their Perc is definitely top 12. Great book, Great instruction, Great players. It’s a bright future. Quote

It feels like the closest any of the "old school" corps has gotten to really nailing down and emulating their essence. J-Mike16 1 Quote
enderplayz17 Posted July 10 Posted July 10 I want to take a second to mention Music City and their ability to make entertaining shows year after year. Great design team over there in my opinion, and a good brass line this year. Another corps that also had my attention was Gold. That show was awesome and it didn’t feel like an open class show. Great sounds so far this year. Quote
